SHE PARALYZED ,Em.
How n woman Rebuked the

Tahoe Snobocracy.
Il A few days ago lady from Sa
Francisco, who had a very soil
bank account, went to Lake Taho
on pleasure trip with her daugI
ter. She concluded that she woul
: have good time, and accordingl
took along some plain, serviceabl
clothes, and no iewelry.
When she struck one of tn
fashionable resorts she found her
self in the midst of lot of peopl,
making vulgar display of clothes
and diamonds, and every time sh,
turned around she was the subiec
of the most unmerciful snubbing
She was put off in an obscure corner
to eat, and not one of the fashion.
able guests condescended to show
her the slightest civility. The lady
bit her lips for a few days, took in
the situation, and with true femi-
nine instinct decided on revenge.
She dropped a line below, and pres
emily there were deposited at the
hotel twelve Saratoga trunks, way
billed to her address.
She and her daughter retired to
their rooms, and that evening came
down to the dining room in a blaze
of lace and diamonds that took ey-
erybody's breath away. No such
gorgeous or tasty toilets had ever
bewildered the guests at that hotel
before. 1t blinded the eye to look
at the pair as they quietly entered
the room. The steward, after re-
covering his poise, rushed forward
and pulled out two chairs from the
most fashionable table in the hotel.
She shook her head and replied:
'The old table will do" and
went to the obscure corner, where
she had eaten all the time.
The utmost CONSERVATION spread
through the dining room, and the
ow hum of voices rose to fashion
IDLE buzz as they warmly discussed |
he situation. Wasn't it awfulP
They had been snubbing a woman
md her daughter all the week who
ould out-dress them all.
In the evening they attempted to
ledge, but couldn't to any consid-
rable extent. The dudes tried to
hine up to the girl, but she
have it, and those who
ned to scrape an acquaintance with
ne mother found it like trying to
IN tunnel into an iceberg. II
For C while she flashed like a
omet through that hotel into a
INSTANT change of ravishing toilets

At the end of the week it was t
armed from the chambermaid that r
le had only gone through half of b
n immense Saratogas. There q
ere several women there who had v
splayed at least dozen different il
lets, and they felt that thew n
ould just die if she beat their a

opted that color at once, only in r
dress that eclipsed the other as =

She was the absolute John Sulli-

all who had the temerity to
